Abstract excerpt
Multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) remains a major global health challenge, yet the drug-specific evolutionary pathways through which resistance accumulates are not fully understood. Heterogeneous minor resistant variants (hSNPs) and compensatory mutations are increasingly recognized as important drivers of the emergence, stability, and transmission of drug-resistant strains. We...
